Dean Delray's LET THERE BE TALK

This is a replay of my converstion with my friend Baron Wolman who passed away Monday at the age of 83. This man was hands down my favorite photographer and his stories and life should be celebrated. Baron was the frist photographer for Rolling Stone Magazine, He shot Woodstock and some of the greatest Day On The Green Photos ever. Visit his instagram @baronwolman and enjoy his art.  I met Baron years and years ago after searching out who shot all the killer Day On The Green Photos. Baron was a full on legend who took some of the best early photos for Rolling Stone magazine. Baron was Rolling Stone magazine’s first house photographer His Woodstock photos and stories are next level. I sat down with him originally for an episode of Let There Be Talk August 28th 2016 #282 and was blown away by all his amazing rock stories. This man and his camera have documented legendary concerts and iconic rockers like Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin AC/DC and so many more. Let’s pour one out for an old-school rock God I’ll miss you Baron so much. Your eye for art was the next level. Sad Sad Day. 😢 Take a look at his Instagram Google his name enjoy his photos and maybe buy one and hang it on your wall. Love you Baron DDR
